Howdee Hey!! I was hoping you could get access to this article, Their Bottoms Are the Wrong Shape: Female Jockeys and the Theory of Established Outsider Relations. September 2010, Sociology of Sport Journal 27(3):301-315, DOI: 10.1123/ssj.27.3.301 Authors: Philippa Velija, Leah Flynn, Southampton Solent University. There's a whole list of articles I'd like to get access to so I'm wondering if WP has something worked out so editors can use a specific school name or standard check-in information that allows us free access? Thx in advance...best wishes (ping or email if you learn anything about access to the .pdf file). If not, can you download it and email to me? Atsme 💬 📧 20:41, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for being a part of The Signpost in 2020. Volume 16 is informative and a delight to go through! DTM ( talk) 16:25, 7 February 2021 (UTC) |
Hi Susan, I haven't read your entire page, but I can see that we have a lot in common, so I'll just aks if you would like to be my mentor by summing up why YOU would be my preferred choice (only if you want of course). We have various things in common: age, number of kids, love for books, non-religious, politically rather on the left side of the spectrum... Plus I assume we both hope to provide well researched information on all the great ladies, which haven't gotten much public credit. In German we don't even have Nancy_Maria_Donaldson_Johnson - and that's just the tip of the ice[cream]-berg. After a failed attempt to join a few years ago I returned to Wikipedia last weekend, creating profiles in German, English and Italian. I am from Germany, work as a translator and hope to find a mentor, who shares some of my interests and is able to put up with a non-digital-native. That's how I ended up reading various profiles of the Teahouse-crew and ended up here. As I already work on a few articles, however my overall know-how of how to get everything right - internal and external sources & how to quote them correctly, relevance of information, inserting images, correcting or updating existing articles etc... If you accept, I promise to be patient and if you ever need any bits and pieces of information which are available in more detail in either German or Italian I'f d be glad to provide what you might be looking for.

Thank you for the warm welcome! This really makes me happy :-) As I know that biographic and other articles on women and about so-called "female" themes (seriously; doesn't Birth_spacing matter to the entire polupation?) are painfully underrepresented, I will do my best to make contributions that will hopefully be helpful. Unfortunately I need to upgrade my technical skills are not too great. For now the only addition I made to the English Wikipedia is the addition of a few Italian Ghost_towns. So when I saw that for instance Septima Poinsette Clark a) has no article of her own in German and b) there are some truly weak points in the Englisch version, which could be mended by the help of an external source; https://polisci.usca.edu/aasc/clark.htm (e.g. she had two children - the current version only mentions the one that died after birth, without even mentioning the surviving one). I am aware that this kind of editing is currently out of my league. I will be very happy to communicate via email and just put Llydia from Wikipedia in the subject line, so you know it's not just some random person from Germany. I look foreward to working on this with all of you! Llydia ( talk) 18:33, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello ladies, so (additionally to my own ideas) the Women in Red project enabled me to find two lists of relevance for my future work - there are the missing articles, which are already listed as missing /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/Missing_articles_by_nationality/Germany however, if I click on the language option -wosh - another list and also really long: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProjekt_Frauen/Frauen_in_Rot/Fehlende_Artikel_nach_Nationalit%C3%A4t/Deutsche and that was in combination with nationality... on the other hand I would also like to give a stage to the miserable women who have failed in life, also because their surroundings have failed them. Now I have to structure, how to be productive while taking care that my articles and my reseach don't lack quality. I already noticed, that some people here look at numbers: however creating a bunch of irrelevant articles that end up on the list of stump-articles is not my aim. I hope to learn by doing, so I will not start asking questions before I can't solve them... plus my first (talk page stalker) was friendly enough to point out some bilingual colleagues and one of them is willing to help in case I get tangled up during the attempt to link new articles to the versions which are created in other languages. My return here has been very motivating - and you definetely added to that bis time :-) Greetings Llydia ( talk) 12:25, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
Hello Susan, so I checked out the German version of women's suffrage in Europe https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frauenwahlrecht_in_Europa and briefly looked at some of the protagonists, since a few of them are from my region - Clara Zetkin looks ok to me, however https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louise_Otto-Peters (name giver of the high school my kids attend) and https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helene_Lange offer way more information in German, so in case you would like me to help you getting some of it across; let me know! Plus I looked at the German ladies mentioned in the brewing article - we also have the "beer sisters" from bavaria, who even have an english section on their website; https://www.bavaria.by/country-people/bavarian-crafts/bavarian-hops-sisters/ I don't know if you feel like they should be mentioned, but as that info is accessible, I'm sure you and SusunW can decide on that.

Coolabahapple OMG! So cute! I am really lucky. In El Paso, we only got a little snow and we're not on the crappy grid the rest of Texas uses. :) Megalibrarygirl ( talk) 07:24, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

I usually do Music Stuff. I tried "fixing" some Comic Related Articles, like the page about me, but I mostly stay away from that because I've been smacked around by people (Hey Frank) who think I shouldn't be able to "correct" stuff because I'm actually in the Industry. Very odd... albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 15:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Ever heard Jeff Beck's version of Boléro??? Lotsa late 60's funtime. albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 15:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
No offense, but it would take a lot more than than jiggery pokery to truly sound like the beach Boys. Brian was amazing! And the arrangements, mostly performed by the Wrecking Crew are truly a Musical Summit of sorts. AND their Familial Harmony is Genetically AMAZING!!!
As for their Individual Voices: Brian had a lovely pure falsetto ("That's-a funny; my last pupil she had-a false set-a teeth")... and his vocal on Caroline, No is "transplendent." Carl's voice is just as lovely, if not more so. God Only Knows is one of my fave Vocals of all time. albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 15:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Mike is a real jerk... not sure if that makes him a "bad Beach Boy" though. albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 15:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
Oh man... you guys are going after my Childhood. While not anywhere near as talented as [Brian Wilson]], Jan Berry was pretty cool and talented. And kinda stupid. I have a nice copy of "Deadman's Curve: The Jan and Dean Story." I found it as a VHS in a cut-out bin at Blockbuster back in the 90s (I think) and eventually had it Digitized. It's pretty cool. Richard Hatch as Jan, and Bruce Davison as Dean. Richard's not too bad, and Bruce is actually great. I met Hatch at a Con, and because my Wife is a huge Battlestar..." fan, I asked him to sign it for her. He was very nice (Maybe because I worked in Comics... or not. He seemed to treat he fans really nice), and for the next few years, kept asking me to sell it. I told him I couldn't, since he'd Autographed it to my wife. But after I had it Digitized and Coded as a VIDEO-TS Folder, I sent him a copy. albabe - The Writer/Artist Formally Known as Al Gordon 15:57, 18 February 2021 (UTC)
